Finnick has been cast in ‘Hunger Games’ sequel

And the trident-brandishing tribute from District 4 is ……. Sam Claflin. The 24-year-old Brit has been the rumored choice for more than a month, but Lionsgate finally made it official today.Catching Fire is set to begin filming sometime this fall under the guiding hand of director Francis Lawrence for a Nov. 22, 2013 release. (No connection to the 50th anniversary of JFK’s assassination, I assume.)
